Pointwise multiplication operators on weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions

Abstract

For a wide class of weights we find the approximative point spectrum and the essential spectrum of the pointwise multiplication operator Mφ, Mφ(f)=φf , on the weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions on the disc with the sup-norm. Therefore we characterize when Mφ is Fredholm or is an isomorphism into. We study also cyclic phenomena of the adjoint map M ′ φ.
